This post offers a rather unique take on authentic leadership.

Former FBI agent, LaRae Quy, offers three powerful ways that authentic leadership can transform your interactions. He suggests that leaders are more authentic when they embrace their “dark side” and acknowledge their past. “Authentic leadership requires probing beneath the surface to confront past influences, cultivate self-awareness, and align actions with core values.”

As Quy points out, “The path to self-awareness includes taking responsibility for your actions and circumstances. It is believing that we can prevail in our current circumstances rather than believing that our circumstances will change.”
